Concept Note

Entrepreneurship has emerged as a critical driver of economic growth and development globally, and India is no exception. As one of the world's fastest-growing economies, India presents a unique landscape for entrepreneurial endeavors. To develop strategy, contents and research work by exploring present style of entrepreneurship and future generation entrepreneurship opportunity.

Entrepreneurship is currently of paramount importance in India as it represents a viable solution to the pervasive issue of unemployment. However, within the academic sphere, discussions pertaining to entrepreneurship development are notably lacking, and the curricula scarcely incorporate these crucial subjects. It is imperative that the academic community engages in substantive dialogues about entrepreneurship to promote sustainable livelihoods and career prospects for our nation's students. We anticipate the submission of high-quality research papers from both academics and practicing professionals, with the aim of fostering vibrant and constructive discussions during the seminar sessions. In the era of globalization, our seminar's primary focus will revolve around the present landscape and forward-looking strategies for sustainable entrepreneurship. The ensuing discussions and outcomes have the potential to culminate in affirmative actions within the academic community, subsequently influencing societal practices. The overarching objective of the seminar is to develop comprehensive strategies, course content, research endeavors, and more, all tailored to the needs of emerging entrepreneurs, while promoting holistic sustainable development. Hence, our seminar is poised to offer substantial benefits to society as a whole. Furthermore, we intend to spotlight and explore the various sources, schemes, and government programs designed for the public's welfare. Incorporating grounded facts and empirical research in our discussions can lay the foundation for future planning by mitigating existing shortcomings. Consequently, we hold great expectations that the papers presented will positively impact societal betterment, shedding light on effective policy-making techniques for the future. Policy makers perpetually seek well-researched insights, comprehensive content, and field survey findings before formulating any policies. Given that the seminar's central theme revolves around Entrepreneurship Development, an area of growing significance in government and society alike, the outcomes of this seminar are certain to offer valuable guidance to policy makers in crafting effective policies.
